Tales Of Misadventures
In my younger days, I often played Russian roulette with the fuel in my vehicles. Many of them I knew to within about 500 yards how far the fuel would take me. I remember once my dad taking my sister out for a driving lesson. I was laid under a small lorry I owned repairing something when I heard my dad walk up the drive.
Seems he ran out of fuel about 4 mile up the road, there wasn't mobile phones in those days, and he didn't have any money on him for fuel, so he had walked all the way back to get some. Hearing him shout to my mother 'Where is the little bA*&^rd, I am going to kill him. I decided discretion was the better part of valour and stayed where I was.
Redcar Gala
I had booked a shooting gallery into a gala in the North East town of Redcar. This particular gallery was built into a 6 wheeled Foden lorry. At the time it would average about 12mpg, so was fairly thirsty. Anyway, I arrived at Redcar, drove onto the allocated pitch, and it promptly conked out of fuel. Oh well, I would operate, get the day over then worry about refuelling.
As it turned out it was a bit of a poor day, and everything was finished by about 5pm.
My at the time mate Arthur, owned a transit van, I asked to borrow it so I could go and fill a 5 gallon drum up with diesel. This would allow me to then return with the lorry to the fuel station and fill it up.

General strike in Athens on 11 March, 2010 over Greek government's austerity measures. Peaceful protest blackened by vandalisms, among which the burning of this car. Tear gas soon followed.
Idle thumbs...
This is my first full day off for xmas and I spent it by getting up earlier than I do for work normally, rushing to the supermarket for when it opens, to buy two bottles of cider, some ice cream and some frozen raspberries.
I love xmas...
A close-up look at the center of one of my Gazunias make it seems as if it is exploding. There is some water sitting in the center, too, which adds to the weird effect.
These are terrific plants, almost indestructible, except for the worst heat and humidity of summer. They close up at nite and love to face the sun. You can find them in white, yellows and oranges.
Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends!! My two resolutions are to get out and shoot more and to make a real effort to learn how to really use my editing programs. Oh, and a third - to be more active here!! :-)

Close to the Limmat in Zurich I've seen a quite exclusive shop. The "exploding sun" is hanging directly in front of their entrance, the lights in the background is the street lighting.
